Oregon Ducks score 11 points against UNC Tar Heels in Holiday Bowl, largest spread on college football odds board for cup season.

The best college football bowl confidence predictions

One of the best 2022-2023 College Football Playoff picks from the model: Be Miss cruise past Texas Tech in the 2022 Texas Bowl on December 28 at 9:00 PM ET. The Rebels stumbled, losing their final three games of the regular season. However, Ole Miss will enter this matchup with one of the most effective rushing attacks in the country. In fact, the Rebels are averaging 261.6 rushing yards per game, which ranks third in the nation.

Texas Tech, meanwhile, is giving up 166.4 rushing yards per game this season, which ranks 90th in college football. Additionally, the Red Raiders are averaging 33 points per game over their last five games. The two teams also met in Houston in September 2019, with the Rebels winning 47-27. The SportsLine model projects Ole Miss to score 40 points against the Red Raiders, which would help the Rebels win in more than 70% of simulations, making it the third surest bowl pick.

Another of the model’s highest confidence predictions: number 17 LDU handles Purdue at the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 2 at 1:00 p.m. ET. It’s been a roller-coaster season for Brian Kelly’s Tigers, as they’ve had four-game and five-game hitting streaks, but also lost their opener against Florida State, Tennessee midway through the year, and then dropped two straight before the season ended.

But I like the victories over the teams Alabama, Ole Miss and Arkansas show the talent on this team. Quarterback Jayden Daniels should also fully recover from an ankle injury, giving this offense more punch. Purdue went 3-3 with all three losses coming by at least 11 points. The Boilermakers will now be without coach Jeff Brohm, who has accepted a job in Louisville. SportsLine’s model sees it as a mismatch, with LSU winning almost 70% of the time.

How to make college football bowl confidence

The model also determined who would win every other cup game. There are 17 teams that win at least 65% of the time, so you need to be big in those matches, as well as a few underdogs who win outright. You can get a selection of all models at SportsLine.

So who wins every college football game? And which matches should be assigned the most trust points?
